Join Gibson's for the first literary event of 2017 as we welcome Vermont's Poet Laureate Chard deNiord (Interstate, The Double Truth, and Sad Friends, Drowned Lovers, Stapled Songs)! He will be joined by Vermont novelist Robin MacArthur, whose debut collection of short stories, Half Wild: Stories, was a finalist for the 2016 New England Book Award!
Interstate is a collection of lyrical poems in four sections that concentrate thematically on animals, love and sex, compassion, and loss. A unifying elegiac conceit, even in the more ecstatic and humorous poems, betrays the bittersweet nature of the book's muse.
